Assets Held for Sale
:
 
During the
second
quarter of
2017,
the Company began actively marketing for sale certain property at the flat product segment’s Siler City, North Carolina facility. As a result of that decision, the Company reclassified
$0.8
million of net book value related to that property along with certain machinery and equipment as assets held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The sale of those assets is expected to be completed within the next
twelve
months and such assets are, accordingly, presented as current. The Company expects that proceeds from the sale of the assets will be used for general corporate purposes. Based on the present real estate market and discussions with the Company’s real estate adviser,
no
impairment of the recorded amounts has occurred as of
June 30, 2017.
